Twin Spindle CNC Lathe is an advanced CNC turning machine equipped with two spindles—a main spindle and a sub-spindle. The Twin Spindle CNC Lathe (also called a dual-spindle CNC lathe) is an advanced CNC turning machine equipped with two spindles—a main spindle and a sub-spindle—designed to complete both the front-side and back-side machining of a workpiece in one setup. This configuration eliminates manual part repositioning, significantly improving: Cycle time Machining accuracy Production automation Operator efficiency Twin spindle lathes are heavily used in medium-to-high volume production environments where precision and throughput are essential. Key Features and Functions 1. Two Spindle Structure Main Spindle Performs primary turning operations on the first side of the part. Sub-Spindle Receives the part from the main spindle Completes secondary operations (back-facing, tapping, drilling, grooving, etc.) Eliminates the need for secondary machines This enables complete machining in one cycle. 2. Part Transfer Function The machine automatically transfers the workpiece from the main spindle to the sub-spindle using: Programmable spindle synchronization Servo-driven transfer Chuck-to-chuck alignment This ensures perfect concentricity between sides. 3. High-Productivity Automation Twin spindle machines are compatible with: Bar feeders Gantry loaders Robotic arms Inline production cells Perfect for continuous, unattended machining. 4. Multi-Axis Configurations Common configurations include: Twin spindle, single turret Twin spindle, twin turret Twin spindle with Y-axis Twin spindle with live tooling / milling capability The more turrets and axes, the higher the simultaneous machining capability. A Dual Spindle Lathe significantly improves machining productivity by completing both sides of a component in one cycle. With dual spindles, automated part transfer, optional dual turrets, and compatibility with robotic loaders, it is a top choice for demanding industrial production environments.
